Greek Fava Bean Dip

The hub & I were going through a bit of withdrawal without Greek fava beans. In Santorini this dish was served at every restaurant as either an appetizer or a main and we guzzled it up like it was our job! Clearly, I was itching for some more & tracked down Greek fava beans on Amazon – no grocery store sold it!

I know what you are thinking, Greek fava bean? Typically when you hear of a fava bean you think a large green lima bean-esque bean, right? Well this bean is yellow, tiny, looks similar to a split pea & it is beyond yummy when boiled and mashed!

There is not much to this recipe – cook per bags direction, the cooking steps from the brand I bought, Arosis, are below…

Take half of the fava from one bag (~1.5C) – add to saucepan, cover with 2.5C water & let simmer on low heat for 30minutes
